The following link provided us with guidance around this issue:
https://sites.udel.edu/seli-ud/files/2015/06/Service-dogs-in-lab-1sgkh1j.pdf
It's not particularly regulatory (in fact, it references the need to establish SOPs around service animals). However, this issue has
come up in the K-12 world. It applies to both students and teachers. Two items that came up in discussion that are not addressed in this presentation:
1)
Service dogs are generally closer to the ground than humans. This means that items falling off a counter will tend to create more of a hazard to the animal than to
the humans.
2)
This discussion must also extend to public presentations that may involve demonstration of chemical procedures (a frequent occurrence in the K-12 world).
Some food for thought.

Subject: [DCHAS-L] Service Dogs in Laboratories
Hi,
Does anyone have info on or references to who has the ability to mandate safety precautions for animals and students near the animal in lab? Our ADA office is saying we cannot place any restrictions on them in the lab. I know there are
rules that mandate broad access for service animals but it seems like those trained in safety should be making the final decisions on this. Any ideas would help.
